I have known Joe a long time I think I was 12 years old when I met him he definitely is my brother from another mother although I felt like family when I was around all of them

I am so shocked and saddened to learn of Joey's passing. He will always have a special place in my heart and a special connection for my family to my father, whom I never knew, but who served with Joe in Nam. He was always so sweet to my grandmother and always made us double over with laughter from his stories. Thank you for serving, Joe. Thank you for staying connected over the years and sharing my dad with me. Peace to you, Joe. In heaven there is true peace.

So sorry to learn about Joe's passing. Another sorority child reunites with his parents and the rest of the gang. And what a time it was.
